Spiritual experiences comments: Page 1

I dreamt that I was walking with Jesus, I dream in color, I was about 8-10 years old in the dream. Jesus was holding my hand... And he was talking to me saying in my life I would have ups & downs but to keep walking... There were so many beautiful flowers on one side of the road... On the other side people were angry, fighting... He said to me... Keep walking. No matter what. The very next day I went to church... And a visiting minister spoke at our church... And y all I promise you... He stood up and during his remarks he said... He had a dream last night he was walking with Jesus and he said there were so many flowers... I knew then that Jesus confirmed that my dream with him was real... He is walking with me and he is holding my hand. Thank you jesus.

Last night I asked my Uber driver (A pastor that speaks 5 languages and is originally from Africa) to pray for me. He asked what my sins were and I told him sex, drugs, and alcohol. His voice had a power and authority to it. He held my hand and prayed powerful words over me casting out evil. Not all at once but very quickly I began to cry and eventually broke out into an uncontrollable fit of weeping while his voice was speaking over me. I felt the air around me get heavy. I want to say it was like the air around me was vibrating... It felt as if I was being shoved down into the bottom of his car. Like into the floorboards. I can't remember how long it lasted exactly but soon after he transitioned from praying in English to praying in tongues I shouted for him to stop bc of the intensity of what was going on and immediately it felt as if something lifted itself straight up out of the car and I quit crying and I became fearful or just really freaked out in general but I knew nothing about what was happening meant me any harm. I think it was like spiritual shock. In any case it was very sobering... I had been drinking and doing blow that night. I gave him a sack of cocaine I had in my pocket and then he drove me home. We talked about God the rest of the ride home.

I googled touched by an angel because I had the same experience. I had a big fight with my mother and left the scene sobbing because I was deeply hurt by her words. I couldn't stop crying and I was deeply hurting when all of a sudden a hand touched my left shoulder comforting me. I froze and stopped crying right away and my hurting turned into wonderful amazement and comfort knowing that my angel watches over me!

Yes when I was a child what a great spiritual experience I was in my room sitting on the end of my bed. My brother was there he was trying to tell me something and I could not hear him over the loud singing JESUS,JESUS,JESUS THERES JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NAME... So so beautiful mutable voices it started with just a few then ended with hundreds. I have thought about it my whole life God rewards our faith. I've always prayed and been faithful.

I also had an experience with light. I had gone to a club with a friend and I was drinking a cooler that I had watered down with water, as I am not fond of drinking alchohol in large amounts. I had drunk about a half of my watered down drink and started to feel weird, drunk (At this point I had drunken a quarter of a cooler. That's it!) My speach was slurred and I was staggering as though I was very drunk. Another friend even teased me for being so drunk. Feeling very uncomfortable I asked my friend to give me a lift and I left my car at the club:.
On the way to my friends house I still felt drunk and I began to vomit. I felt better after vomiting and no longer felt as drunk or otherwise out of sorts.
We arrived at my friends house and I laid down in bed to rest.
As I lay in bed I started to feel a bubbling sensation in my stomach. The bubbles continued slowly up into my chest then my throat and finally into my face and head. I could now hear the bubbles. Later I described it as the sound a can of 7-up soda makes when you open it.
I lay with my eyes closed and comfortably allowed this sensation to continue. As I lay there a bright light came upon my face and I quickly opened my eyes. I remember thinking someone is outside shining a bright light through the window right at me. When I opened my eyes the light was gone. I again closed my eyes and saw a tiny pinpoint of light which grew and grew until I was bathed in it. The light faded and would come again, pinpoint to flood. This happened several times. I tried to count but could not maintain concentration. I believe I was flooded seven times but cannot be sure. I felt no fear or pain, only comfort and curiosity.
I don't know how but after this event slowly and incrementally I began to want Jesus in my life more and more. I don't know what happened that day, all I know is my life changed from that day forward. Part of me believes that Jesus needed to clean my soul of the evil that presided there and that was why I needed to vomit. Honestly, I believe I was babtised in the holy spirit and I pray for others to experience some sort of supernatural experience such as we have been blessed with.
People have tried to tell me that I had a neurological happening and others that I had been drugged, which I know I wasn't... But none of that accounts for my shift in spirituality. I am grateful to jesus for loving me and for making me a part of his flock. Yay Jesus!

Back in the early 90s I was talking on the phone to a psychic woman she told me that she was going to let a spirit show itself to me and before that could happen it was a right hand on my left shoulder I know it was a right hand because you know a right hand when it lays its hand on you on my left shoulder I immediately lost strength in my body I started to go down to my knees the only thing I could think of was I was scared I didn't know what to do but I will tell you I started calling out to different spirits that that woman told me to call to you the hand disappeared but at times that area tingles like what I'm doing wrong or going to do wrong I rebuke that hand many times and I didn't know what it was after reading these testimonies I will never eat that and again I believe it to be the right hand of God all I can say is I was scared to death that right hand touched me it touched me by the fingers first and then the palm and thumb at the same time I know it was a right hand from the thumb placement and it was definitely my left shoulder

Do you think we stand on the right side of God or Jesus and if we do it would be his right hand. On our left shoulder...

Maybe just maybe if anybody else has had the same experience about losing their strength and felt like I was going to my knees it would be nice to hear from you God bless you and I definitely am a born again Christian and I can't tell you how many times I should be dead and I haven't died yet I've been shocked by an overhead power line that runs next to the highway I've been in multiple car accidents that should have killed me I've hit my head on the bottom of the river the Ohio River I should not be alive unless God has his protective and on me I will tell you I have seen my share of spirits good and bad and I will tell you God uses me but I will also tell you when I was saved at the revival I couldn't speak for 6 days after that God is good

Thank you Ebi for sharing this experience especially; "You are like a beautiful pearl in the sea", "I love you" it conveys a harmony with Walt Whitman's 'Song of Myself' when he says "I believe in you my soul, the other I must not abase itself to you" Surely, for you it is the pearl of great price to nurture and keep close to your heart, always.

The Holy Spirit is a real spiritual encounter with God, but it only happens when you surrender yourself to God after "believing" and calling for Jesus; to follow and take over in every aspect of your life. My spiritual encounter was falling on my knees in my lounge room and saying sorry to God and the feeling was exactly like the "Amazing Grace Song". You see for the very first time in my life, I actually prayed to God from the heart and called for help and He answered straight away. 3 days later the Holy Spirit entered my room when I was asleep but it was as though I had stepped into another spiritual realm. I could clearly see my wife sleeping next to me, I could hear my children moving around in their beds (separate rooms), I could hear the clock ticking away in the back room (where this is not normally possible as our bedroom is too far from the clock to hear anything), I could hear little animals on the trees outside and I could feel everything around me as though I was part of everything; as though I was being born and was about to land into a human body. The experience was quite amazing. But it doesn't end there! Through this experience I tried to get my wife's attention but could not; Only I could see what was happening to me and all the shouting and nudging at my wife would not do anything. And then the most beautiful thing happened. A beautiful large pillar of light moved across the room - from my doorway, to the window and then to my wife's side which is a very dark place of the room. The pillar was about 2 meters in diameter and moved across the room like the moon moves across the horizon. It was from the ground all the way to the ceiling and was like a powerful strong, majestic white but soft light - almost like a pillar of cloud and it was beautiful. It was not from this world, it was clearly from God. And then just to seal my experience, an arm of light came out of this pillar of light and my left arm was lifted up my itself as though my arm was no longer mine. And then an energy rush went through my entire body! The experience lasted for only about 2 or 3 seconds and is something I shall never ever forget. As soon as it had left me, I woke up and was then able to wake my wife and children (it was like a bomb went off in the room by my excitement). I said to my wife these words "do you know what just happened to me? This must be the Holy Spirit that I saw!" I said this with the biggest smile and had tears of joy running down from my face. Upon day break, I then asked my wife to get me a Bible to read and my life has since done a 360. I am not the same person I used to be and God the Father is with me every day. What I have achieved in the past 2 years - I could not have done alone and the people I have spoken to about God and Jesus has impacted them. I have become a very strong witness of God and feel as though Jesus lives inside me. So may things have happened to me since then, so many people of all walks of life have come in my path - as though God wants me to speak to them and each time I do speak, it is as though God designed it to happen. I have had so many visions and dreams that come true and God has also shown me both Heaven and Hell. It's all real brothers and sisters. The bible is spot on and makes so much sense. God bless to you all who are reading this. I have also written 2 articles on-line under LinkedIn. You can look me up if you like.

When I was 15, one night I heard a voice of a woman whisper in my ear in spanish, " Cuando todos vayan" when everyone goes it said. I woke up and saw her hide underneath my bed. Till this day I have no idea what she meant by that.

I was walking on my way home from a fiends house when I knew it was about to start pouring down raining when it seemed liked this guy came out of no where and asked me if I needed A ride. I said yes, yes I was on drugs at the time but felt I was coherent enough at the time to know how to guide him toward my destination. He said his name was Michael Lane. It seemed like I got home in 5 minutes. My point I'm trying to make is I felt he was an GUARDAN ANGEL. He seemed to have taken me home from my destination so fast that it seemed liked it should've taken longer than that. Bottom line I felt more or less like I was teleported without even knowing it.

Hi, Discern13. My name is Kathryn and I'm writing to let you know that you are not alone. I believe you are right, that you have the gift of discernment. This gift is listed in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV, along with all of the other spiritual gifts from God, and each of these gifts is a good thing, meant to help others. It says, "Now to each one the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good." In the NIV, it's listed as "distinguishing between spirits." It's very easy to understand what the other gifts are, as they are fairly self-explanatory (prophesy, healing, miracles, tongues, etc.), yet this gift, I think many people simplify to being like using a type of reason about good and evil, or having a sensitivity to the spirit realm, or intuition. From my experiences, and what I've been reading, this gift seems to encompass much more, for instance, being able to see demons. It also says, "[H]e distributes them to each one, just as he determines," so this is no accident by God. Just as you said, you have a purpose with this gift, so be encouraged!

I first heard about children being able to see demons from a woman at my church a few months ago. She told me she could see them ever since she was a child. Even with my experience with God, I was horrified. I could not understand why God would allow it, even though I knew it would be for a good reason because God is good and He is love. Later, this woman saw Jesus when she was a child, standing over her as she was seeing these demons and experiencing a horrible incident. The experience she described seeing Jesus was beautiful. Years later, she also saw a man possessed by demons and cast them out. She also told me that one time she saw Satan standing at the foot of her bed. All of this she told me without prompting, when I suspected I had seen demons as a child, and when I had seen Satan standing at the foot of my bed.

My experience is a bit different from yours, however. I was saved two years ago, July 1, 2016, on my birthday, when I had a vision from God. I gave my life to Jesus several weeks later, which was a glorious experience. Then, the night after, I met Satan and his two top demons in a dream. A cross appeared in my hand and the light of God beamed out of the cross and I said something like, "Leave, in the name of Jesus! I don't belong to you anymore!" and they literally just turned around and walked away. Because of the overwhelming presence and love of God, I was not afraid whatsoever. Perfect love truly casts out fear.

After that, I kept having dreams of meeting demons. These dreams are not like normal dreams. They are from God. In them, I feel I am fully awake and myself, but in a different realm, a different reality, not merely dreaming. In each dream, I meet a demon (always in human form), or several demons, or humans possessed by demons, and I go up to them and say, "Resist the devil in My name, and he will flee from you." In that moment, they disappear and/or the dream ends. As time has gone on, I have become more afraid in the dreams, even though I am still able to cast them out. In some of them, Jesus is standing right there in the dream, though I do not see Him physically. It's like He's invisible. I know that sounds strange. Some of the dreams have been so horrific that I've cried or screamed at the top of my lungs. I even began to fear that God was mad at me, since this is an old fear from childhood I have that got triggered with the bad dreams.

I wanted to know why this was happening. I reached out to one mental health professional, at my church, who had an M.Div, and he had no answers. I also reached out to another therapist, who was a former priest, and he had no answers. I reached out to a man in position of authority at my church who had no answers, and even my pastor, who had no answers. Even some women at my church, had no answers, but they prayed over me. I felt incredibly alone in my experiences. It's really unfortunate, but most people simply do not hear about or have experiences with this sort of thing. I think many with the gift don't reach out or tell others for fear of what people might think of them, and many people in Christianity even don't believe in this sort of thing, that there is a more spiritual side to Christianity than what they are experiencing.

Then, I came across your story. I decided to look up on Google the gift of discernment, and many others, like you and me, have experiences as a child seeing demons, or when they are first saved, have many experiences with demons. I was intrigued when I read God told you that you had the gift of discernment. I asked God what gift I had, and He said discernment.

A couple of weeks after that, I joined a prayer team, and somehow I had a feeling, that one or all of the women in that prayer team have had experiences with demons, and they would understand what I was going through. One young woman, in particular, I felt had seen them physically. The next time I met with this prayer team, I asked if they knew what anything about the gift of discernment and if any of them had seen demons. And all of them told me they see demons physically. The one young woman, who I had suspected had seen demons, was the first to pipe up and tell me she had seen them physically, without any prompting. It was such a divine appointment experience and a miracle.

One of the women there told me that Jesus showed her that when the demons see me, they part like the red sea. She said I carry the same authority Jesus has over these demons and that are afraid of me like they are afraid of Jesus. We all, as children of God, carry this same authority. They are afraid of YOU. That is why they try to scare you is because THEY are afraid of you knowing the kind of power and authority you have as a Child of God. Even though they are scary, and they are trying to scare you, they have no authority, no power, and no strength. They cannot touch you because you are His. Their "strength" lies in how much you give them, by how much you are afraid of them. They have no souls, but you, being God's child, have a soul. You are the light of God and you carry that power of love inside of you wherever you go.

The next time you see a demon, you can just say, "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you," and they will disappear. You don't need to know a ton of scripture, but do know some scripture that works for you. If they ever speak to you, you can say something like, "You are a liar and the father of lies!" If you don't know any scripture at the time, just say, "Jesus," because Jesus' name has power in and of itself to cast them out. Charles Kraft (the author above) sang a song to one of the demons he met, and the demon fled! It was something silly, too. Now, I practice singing Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" or Michael Jackson's "Beat It" because it helps remind me they really have no power. Whatever helps you believe in your authority over them and helps you to be unafraid and trust in Jesus is what is going to help you and defeat these demons.

If you feel they are in your house, you can anoint your house with oil. It can be canola oil from the grocery store; it doesn't matter. Take some oil, pray for Jesus to bless it with protection, dip your thumb in it and put a dot, or a cross, or a heart, or a smilie face (whatever you like) on each of the walls. Open the windows and the doors and tell them to flee and get out of the house and off of the property and to stay far away from there. I like visualizing it in my mind. I did this a few days ago, and my house, especially my living room feels different to the point that I am not afraid to go into it anymore.

If you are afraid when you see these demons, please don't feel bad or like you are somehow less than spiritually. You are not, and you still have power and authority over them, even when you are afraid. More often than not, I am terribly afraid after an encounter, but even at those times, try to do whatever helps you and puts you in touch with God's love. I remember once, I woke up from one of my dreams absolutely horrified, and I opened my Bible, I put on worship music, and began saying my favorite words of God out loud, over and over. I began to feel this light expanding from my soul going further and further outside of my body. I felt so loved and I was able to fall back asleep.

I hope this helps you to find relief and I will pray for you to be connected to others who have this gift and can guide you, and that Jesus will give you special guidance through this journey if you open yourself up to this gift again, so that you will not be afraid and be solidified in your true identity as a child of God. Ask Him to put you in connection with people so you are not alone. I asked Him and He did this for me. I hope you can find a prayer team or people in your church who know about this sort of thing. Charismatic churches, those who believe in gifts of the spirit, are much more open to this sort of thing. I recently read about Vineyard Churches (https://vineyard.org.au/) which exist around the world. I don't know much about them other than that they believe in spiritual gifts, and are Charismatic and Evangelical. They may be worth a shot. Not everyone believes this sort of thing, but you are definitely not alone. Your story has been a blessing for me, so thank you.

I too had a similar experience. I was getting ready to commit suicide... Thinking I had NO WAY OUT of a situation and Jesus came to me in a dream but REAL... HE DIDNT SAY a word but I KNEW what he was saying. I looked up at him VERY SHAMEFULLY AND WE CAUGHT EYE CONTACT most BEAUTIFUL EYES... AND I FELT IMMEDIATE FORGIVENESS... HE PUT HIS RIGHT HAND ON MY LEFT SHOULDER AND LOOKED INTO MY EYES AND SMILED A I FORGIVE YOU SMILE. NEEDLESS TO SAY... I DIDNT HAVE TO TAKE MY LIFE! THANK YOU JESUS

Hi, Pete. I'm so glad you wrote to me and that my story has meant something to you. To answer your first question, I did see God's light, not merely sensed it. God's light was like the sun, but if you can imagine the entire sky being filled with the light of the sun everywhere, but many, many times brighter so that the trees and everything else fades into the background. The light wasn't golden like the sun, but was this absolutely pure, white light, and God's love and glory radiates from it. It was so beautiful. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, God's light surrounds the whole earth always. In Isaiah (Chapter 6, verse 3), it says, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." The Bible also says that Jesus is the light of the world. This is what I saw and experienced.

To answer your second question about punishment, it's not God who wants to punish people for merely being human; it's Satan. Satan is called opposer of God, murderer, liar, slanderer, and accuser. He's a critical being, always finding fault in others, keeping score of their every failing, and never forgiving them or wanting them to be forgiven. People who are critical on the inside often want to lash out toward others. This is how Satan wants us to treat ourselves and each other. As long as we continue to do this, we will live in shame and in our sin (our faults) instead of being free from it. This is what Satan wants for us, to become more like him. In the Bible, it says hell was a place designed for Satan and his angels. It was never made for God's children. God wants us, to be with and to live with Him, free from the punishment Satan desires for us. He wants us to experience complete love and freedom from the things we did wrong. The more we do what Jesus did for us, extend forgiveness to ourselves and others for our sins, we become who we truly are, a piece of the light of God.

In the Old Testament, God does everything to restore us to Him. God is in love with sinful humanity, so he sees us for who we truly are, not our sin. One of the first things Adam and Eve did when they ate the tree, was to hide from God. They wrongly believed that God wanted to punish them for their sin. Instead, He drew near to them, clothed them, and remained with them. He blessed the Israelites with signs and wonders out of Egypt, to help them believe. He gave them prophets to teach them, encourage them, warn them, and speak on His behalf. He gave them laws to teach them about love and to be near Him. God wants us to always be and remain in His presence, in complete relationship with Him, with no fear. The Bible says, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 NIV. So, we know when we believe God is out to punish us for our sin, and we are afraid of Him, we have an incorrect idea of who God is. We've attributed Satan's character onto God, and it's hard for us not to do this because so many of us have been abused and hurt by people we loved or who we thought loved us, and we have done the same.

I believed this lie my whole life, that God wanted to punish people for their sin, and so I became an atheist, but when you meet God, and you feel His enormous love, you know that is not part of who He is.

When you look at the Bible and perceive any discrepancies, use it as an opportunity to ask God to help you understand how it makes sense. God loves to speak and communicate with us always. He will reveal something to you in a way that helps it really click with you. One time, I was confused about my relationship to Him and how He is transforming me. I thought it was like a painter with a blank slate of paper to paint on. I said to Him, "I'm not like that clean slate of paper. What is it really like?" Then, I heard Him say, "Think of it more like clay." I understood, then, that He is the potter and I am the clay. At that time, I had never read or heard in the Bible about Jeremiah 18 where it talks about this relationship. When I, several weeks later, came across the verses in Jeremiah 18 about the potter and the clay, it confirmed for me that I had, indeed, heard from God.

Deborah, I'm so happy my story has helped you. God's love and presence is really indescribable. I'm so relieved you and other people have responded. Honestly, I had given up that anyone would read this, but I just decided to check on a whim a few weeks ago, and I guess God has finally revealed my story to others! I'm also going through a tough time, and you have given me so much hope. Thank you and I'll continue to pray for you to experience God's love during your hardship, that you will see His light again, and for you to get through this.

I have this same black Angel following everywhere I go. People with the third eyes sees it and they tell me. A man with the third eye once told me "there's a thick tall black naked man following you". I was not surprised when he told me. Because I could remember one night I woke from bed and was going out urinate, and while going I heard like a giant foot step at my back anytime I take a step I hear another step at my back. So I turned my back to see who was following me, and I saw no one. Also the Angel hurts people. If I get close to someone with evil spirit, the angel fights them without my knowledge or me seeing it. Because of that I can't get close to people, even my family and friends. What I know is that someone might have a evil spirit, but it doesn't necessarily means is going use it to hurt you. Pls I need help... Thanks

I was sleeping and it felt like something was being pulled from my chest. I kind of woke up thinking am I having a heart attack? But I knew I wasn't. For some reason I knelt to the floor and started asking God for forgiveness. I got back on the bed and tried to sleep. It started again... I got up and went to the bathroom. I tried to walk it off so to speak. I walked back to the bed. I didn't see my body there so I'm not sure if it was OBE. I wasn't scared more nervous than scared. Like was I dying?... I don't know how to explain it. It happened 3 times total last night. I'm emotional trying to figure it out.

I have seen people's face change twice, once in 2006 in the case of a friend and another time with someone within my family.

In 2006, I was sharing rooms with this 'friend' and I as a law student then, I was telling my friend about a criminal case of paedophilia that I was reading about. His face started changing. He looked very different. I had never seen his face like that and I immediately mentioned it. He started smiling, joking and became 'himself' again. A year later, while using his computer, I learnt that he had browsing child p0rn. Maybe the change I noticed was guilt. I will come back to this a little later.

The second instance happened when I was discussing with someone the concept of human evil in Scott Peck's book in 2016. I was narrating examples from the book to show how twisted, insidious some human actions could be. As she was listening, this 50 year old lady's face sagged. Eyes became different. Her chin 'disappeared'! I brought this to her attention. She started feeling uncomfortable, claimed that I maybe wrong about her face and walked out, saying it was getting late and went to her room. I noticed as she was leaving that she was on the verge of crying.

I brought up both the incidents with my therapist a week after the second incident. He explained that some discussions, some insights could have an effect on facial muscles - loosening or tightening. He also said that he sees it often in his clients. I believe him. Seems logical explanation

Many good comments here. Groups, "divisions" vibratory differences only separate the planes of Angels and man. Wings being washed of blood sounds about right to me. My experience, Gabriel came as an aura, during my crowning, I did not see "wings" but I "heard" the trumpet announcing the arrival. Red wings to me, are the messengers between the gods and angels, the chaotic ones that have the "dirty" jobs. The Angels that got "left behind" by choice of themselves, to help. That's why they keep to themselves most of the time, they got a bad reputation. If someone's going to donthe dirty work, let's make sure it's done clean, Angels remember and live in the fact that their life is eternal, that all life is eternal. So when the Angel of death swoops in to assist someone to their recycling, he knows that life is death is life. Blood stained my wings, I've paid my penance, I'm sorry. We all have to re learn ourselves constantly, even divinity. Have a blessed day!

I am so relieved at reading this. I have had "plenty" of such serious level earthquake like feeling during my sleep and I felt embarrassed as none in my apartment or the complex felt this. People used to joke about me. Its a relief to know that other people have experienced it too and its not that I am loosing my mind.

This year has been one of spiritual growth for me and I have had a few really special expeariences and I'd like to share one with you. First I guess I should tell you that I am not now nor have I ever been pregnant but I had a dream of my newborn son I can't tell you how but I just knew it was him. His father's spirit was there as well but I was not allowed to remember his face when I awoke but I know his spirit and fully believe when I meet this man here on Earth our spirits will recognize each other instantly, but back to the dream. I'm standing there and I'm allowed to hold my boy and kiss his face and tell him that I love him but I know how safe and loved he is there and that I would have to leave him there and I know his father did the same. As we are with our child an amazing presence is there watching us I wasn't allowed to look at this presence or if I did I wasn't permitted to remember when I woke. The same amazing warm golden light you spoke of in your dream is all around us especially my son through this whole dream. It was the most comforting warmth. My spirit and soul know far beyond the shadow of doubt that this golden light presence is God our heavenly father and my son is warm and safe and perfectly loved there with him. Trust in your experience and apply it to your life and never forget the warmth of Gods love for you

When you are visited by an angelic being, to know for sure if the messenger is of God, ask them to shake your hand. If the messenger is heaven sent they will shake your hand and you will feel it. If it is a heaven sent spirit messenger it will ignore your question and deliver his message from heaven anyways being as it is against the heavenly order for a spirit to decieve you. If it is the devil appearing as an Angel when you reach out your hand he will reach out to shake your hand and you will feel nothing.

For everyone that knows me... I'm not religious. I'm 15. I'm not even sure if I have a God or if a God exists. I've struggled with this thought since I was 12. Recently I have felt pretty useless, ugly, and terribly depressed and it's not a great feeling. I did something idiotic because I thought that perhaps if I do this, he will solve my parent's money issues, make me less self polluting to the image I see daily in the mirror, and just maybe pull my life together. It was partially a joke and partially just all of my thoughts rambling together. I summoned Satan and offered myself. I told him to take me for the list I wrote. A kind of selfless list that I considered would be worth more than my soul and worth more than every part of me. Well then I felt stupid because nothing happened. No light flickering. No cold breeze of air. Nothing. I fell asleep. I woke up from some loud sound in the kitchen (I suspect was my parents or siblings) and I rolled over in my bed to find some weird shadow on my wall, it was moving down... Almost like it was oozing down. I turned on my phone light and nothing was there... And as soon as I turned it off, the shadow was gone. I thought it was just the affects of me waking up. The next day I started to get these weird feelings something was just close to me but not. It's hard to explain but it's like something is right beside me but it's not. I felt sick the entire day (like I was going to throw up) but ignored it. Recently I've slept in my sisters room with her and I've been waking up with a cough (coughing to the point of tears in my eyes and gagging) but then it goes away when I'm fully awake. I get a weird feeling in her room. When she leaves to get a glass of water or to do something, I can hear dogs barking or different sounds but when she comes back... They're gone. When she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and closed the first door (two doors I can see into both of them because the door to her room) I could still see into the second one. The first door was shut but I could see the light through the creases, the light was fading in the creases constantly but the light in the bathroom was on and my sister was in there. In the corner with the door, I thought I seen a shadow of something around 5'7 or 5'8 and it was just there. A big jolt hit my stomach. This other thing... It feels like I'm rotting... Like I was NEVER sick before. NEVER. Everyone fakes a cold here and there to get out of school but I've never felt with allergies or any skin issues (NOT EVEN ACNE) and I'm not really the type to get a cold because I'm precautious around sick people (not a freak but I carry germ-x and tissues everywhere) but I noticed these weird rashes on my upper neck near the hairline and on my bottom left foot. I'm completely terrified for my family. I don't give a rats tail about myself but I cannot put my family through this.

About 11 years ago, I was trying to remember the Our Father prayer...Yes, I know I could go to the Bible to read it, but I was determined to let it flow from my thoughts/prayers since I knew it, but for some reason was stumped. I went out for a smoke break, which is located on a walkway between the building and parking structure. I looked to the west, asked my Lord to allow me to remember the prayer. All of a sudden, a cloud/fog/whiteness (pure white, no shadows, brightest white but not blinding) engulfed me. I could not see the building on my right side, I could not see the parking structure on my left side. It was PURE WHITE COMING AT ME. I suddenly had a warm feeling going from my head to my feet that I have never, ever felt before. After that, the bright, pure light left me. I begged it to come back! I will never forget it. I try to explain this to people and they don't believe me. Thank you for this site because I need to know others have experienced this and I don't feel alone. I feel Jesus blessed me with his pure white light.

Had a similar experience. Freedom from fear of lonliness... The solo trip gave me unexplainable amount of inner energy and calm to see everything as a learning experience and love all... Whom we understand and even those we don't...I could relate to the emotions of most people and see all of us as a work in progress, all with their share of heartache and struggles... Love being the soothing balm

I was sleeping, I woke up. Started to walk away from the bed. I glanced back reliazing my body ME! The room was dark and my boyfriend was still in the chair watching t.v in our room as I left him when I fell asleep. So as this is my first time experiencing this... I freaked out. I thought I died and was in a different dimension then my body. So I ran up to my boyfriend started to scream, touch him... That didn't work... So I was like shiatil. I'll go blow in my mouth and or try to get my body to move so he would notice... I watched him get up... Then BAM I was awake... He said he heard me gurgle. So he checked on me. Now I'm kicking myself in the booty because I could of made the experience to learn and try new things. Hopefully I'll get another chance.

This is so interesting! While I can't be too sure, I think I feel some sort of connection to Cernunnos myself (although, at least at this time, I feel the Lady calling me more than any other God). I'm not stressing about it, though, as I feel like if a God wants me to communicate with them, they'll let me know in some way or another.

Just experienced it today and feel bit scared yet at the same time contented? I saw my body as I felt my soul pulled out by subtle yet firm energy. Odd enough my soul took a form of green and violet light and not like typical soul which shapes just like human body. Been developing psychic abilities since February and now this. Not sure what to think or feel anymore.

If anyone familiar with this or actually know what happened. Please contact me hborstze [at] outlook.com

There seem to be so many people who have experiences (would you consider it Divine?) similar to yours, including many NDEs but all seem to have unique differences to their individual stories yet the Light is so often the common denominator, who is described as the Light? More so declares himself to be the Light? You and hopefully others who have this experience of the Light and those who haven't may take comfort by reading 'The Gospel of Thomas' e.g. Verse 83 - Jesus said, "The images are manifest to man, but the light in them remains concealed in the image of the light of the father. He will become manifest, but his image will remain concealed by his light."

Hello all,
The first time I ever had a vision from Jesus was back in 2015. I was in bed going back to sleep when I felt myself go into a deep place not sure how to describe it. I was thinking were am I going then from seeing black, I see BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT my eyes were closed but l'm very awake. So now I'm just in this white place and thinking were am I.Then I saw Jesus on a white horse appeared right in front of me he was looking straight at me. I was very afraid but I saw Jesus he had a black beard and a gold crown on his head and was dressed all in white, holding onto the horses reigns. Not sure how long this lasted but in my mind I said BEHOLD THIS IS JESUS I believe that was holy spirit Speaking to me as I don't talk like that. Afew years pasted and in 2017 I had the same experience only this time I was praying for Jesus to tell me what he wanted me to do for him. I fall into this white light again and this time a heard Jesus speak to me. He said "BE HOLY" then I came out of the vision.

Glad to know others have had a soul leaving experience. My experience last night was exhilarating. It gave me such peace to know the soul really does exist. Asleep, my soul, me, left my body. I realized it when I could see my deflated lifeless body lying on my left side in bed from about a three foot distance. It was pleasant. My essence appeared in the form of a round yet somewhat oval flat disk about four inches in diameter and a half inch thick. The disk was off-white and dense. It floated containing life and went visiting. For some reason, I want to use the word "we" as it seemed to be me, yet separate from me. We immensely enjoyed visiting some very delightful, gentle people that also thoroughly enjoyed our visit with full authenticity. One elderly woman, in particular, lead the visit with all the special, kind words that bring joy and a deep sense of comfort. My soul and I then floated away and at times quickly moved through the air returning to my body through suction in my chest. Right about where my heart sits and underneath it. It came to a point and was suctioned right back in without any concern, filling me up to my usual physical presence. I awoke and felt such wonderful joy. Hope it will happen again. I will just go with it and enjoy the experience without managing it.

I am so greatful I came across this thread, this happened to me a few nights back, I was half asleep, half awake almost in that nice dreamy state, I can't explain it in words, at first it felt like a strong warm wind focused right at the center of my heart was coming in and out, in and out, I can't describe it almost felt like something was leaving my body and halfway came back into my body, it was actually quite a nice but scary feeling. I ddnt induce it or anything its just happened and I have been wondering what this was.

I too had more than one experience with a demon no face no sound the cloak was red with a hood a staff in its hand and it was slowly coming towards me in visions of mines no sound no face an it was if it had a purpose and that was to get me and me alone it passed everyone straight like it didn't even see them but was constantly coming for me the feeling it gave off was nothing nice I felt fear hate confusion and lost I haven't seen it since I started rebuking its awareness in my visions or life.

Came here because of something that's been happening to me / happened to me this weekend. Thank you for this testimony. I find when I am sense fear starting to enter, praying for protection always works.

what a beautiful story! Everything about it is perfect and you have nothing to worry about. You are a manifesting child of god because when you ran across evil (the government incident), you got away from it as quickly as you could and not just that, you gave up most of your wealth by doing it. You are not arrogant; you are instead, humble. How many lawyers would do what you did?!

Listen to what you were told; it's the truth. We are divine creations with our own powerful energy source functioning in human bodies to learn how to use it properly.

I am 80 and it took me 78 years to learn that if we want god's help, all we have to do is ask for it and be basically good people; not perfect, but basically the kind of person that doesn't want to harm others. If you don't ask, you won't receive. The other big thing that is helpful is to know that the way we feel is totally able to be changed. If we focus on what we don't like, we will not feel good. If we focus on trying to feel the way we want to, we can improve. In other words, we create the way we feel, often unknowingly. Can u feel goose bumps? Then you can learn how to feel blissful. I think if we allow god to help us feel the way we want by asking for it and to practice deep relaxation and letting god assist in reprogramming us, we can become more loving, blissful people. An observant quiet mind is a great characteristic to develop.

I had this exact thing happen to me... Asking Jesus into my heart all of a sudden from the tips of my toes a wave of electricity slowly went through my body out the top of my head... I felt totally different. Alot of feeling of love... We need to talk. I thought I was crazy and only told a few people and they looked at me like sure you did.
We need to talk.

my story is not quite mine but my twins' brothers. When they were kids they used to see both different hooded figures in our house. They were about 4-5 (!) dark hooded figures about 2-3m tall with no facial features, only darkness. The strange thing is that their clothes-hoods were different colours. One was black, the other dark brown, the other dark blue and maybe one grey, I m not sure. My brothers used to see them in different hours of the day (but mainly at night) not only when going to sleep. For example they were studying for schood and suddenly they were seeing them (not all together) walking in the living room. They were scared but they gradually get used to that situation. The figures were walking in the house or just standing and stare. Usually they were standing next to doors. One night my brothers saw them all together in the living room and that's when another one came, a white one which was taller and seemed to be in charge or something. My brothers didn't see them again since then. They told us the story some years later. I didint believe them back then because they were kids when all those happened but my mother did believed them because she remembered the times when she was helping them with homework and they just stopped and stared both at the same point of the room and they looked scared but they had never told her what they were seeing. She also remembered all the nights when she closed their bedroom door and my brothers were opening it again because they were afraid and my mother used to say all the time ''why u keep opening the door?!'' but my brothers didn't say anything. Now I read so many stories about these things and I feel sorry that I didn't believe them back then. I really wonder what they really are. Why they were in groups? Why different colours?

In my bedroom a dim white light 3-4 feet I usually see in a fixed corner of my room, that is in front of my almirah. This happens at night when there is no source of light to come there. It's happening since 2015 when I noticed it first, may b it's older than that

I had a similar experience I had surgery and was in so much pain it was hard to sleep I wandered around at all hours of the day hoping for relief my fiancé said a prayer for me we both did the pin went on I woke up at 4am looking for my pain pills and couldn't get he bottle open I prayed on it asked that God give me the strength to open up the bottle and I tried again and it opened I went to sleep thinking how my pain was only temporary and once I was better I'd keep in mind my lord my savior and make sure to spread the word as I was finally dozing off making an internal list of all that I needed to keep in mind I felt a touch on my forehead no one was around it felt so real and calming I could only assume it was Gods touch. It's not the only time years ago I was feeling guilty
That I missed church and a voice said to me not female or male just a voice saying "I'm in your heart you do not need to go to a place of worship to believe in me" that time I had a hard time sharing with others about my experience I didn't want anyone to think I was crazy but I did share with a few people that totally understood.

Thank you, Jasun, for the clear description of the subtle and obvious benefits of meeting Dave Oshana. I notice that you recently posted several new articles and podcasts about Dave on your Auticulture blog. I was especially touched by your "Testifying to Love: How Dave Oshana & the Enlightenment Transmission Allowed for an Experience of My Soul".

I can relate to this post. Mostly I keep having dream within dream where I desperately try to wake up knowing its a dream but when I wake up its just another dream again. But recently I experienced this soul leaving my body in dream. I was desperately trying to wake up but my soul tries to leave my body. I was so scared that I stopped forcing myself to wake up. Then I felt like half of my soul is still disconnected and cannot enter my body because I know I am awake in my dream. My soul was making painful noises and sometime demonic sound because it couldn't enter my body again. I kept telling myself its just a dream so I tried moving my body but failed miserably. I couldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried so I lied down trying to relax. And I also had this experience where half of my soul was trying to show my body sleeping in my bed but I was so scared to look that I closed my eyes. And that's when I felt sudden pressure (like my body thrown down from height) and I realized my soul has entered my body. And after that with few attempts to wake up I could finally wake up in reality.

This has been happening to me since I was 8. For 20 years. It's nothing to be afraid of. Your mind is so powerful. If you think it's a negative experience and/or if your religious your mind will automatically go to thinking "ghosts" "demons" "dark figures" "witches" and all that other crazy stuff I was hearing. Relax, it's a little frightening if your inexperienced and your mind has been warped all your life. We are spiritual beings in physical form. Read up on OBEs, tell your self you are safe and okay, you are not going to die from this if you wake up! Your soul will just shoot right back into your body, you will begin to vibrate, you may feel heavy/light, you may hallucinate or hear things. Again, all part of the experience. Awaken your conciousness and don't be confined to main stream ideology. Check out GAIA for great information.

I saw my black shadow figure during open heart surgery. I was very worried when they stopped my heart that I would die like my father did on the table. My best friend said she asked her guardian angel to watch over me. I remember seeing him, yes it was a male, very tall and thin all black with a suit and hat from the 1920's. He just stood there with his hands in front of him and I remember thinking oh great this is the angel of death just waiting for me. The room was very misty and I could hear talking. I remember him reaching out with his right hand and touching me on my left arm and everything got very quiet and I felt so at peace it was amazing. The next thing I remember is my wife talking to me as I was waking from surgery. My friend asked me if I had a mark on my left arm as she asked her guardian angel to leave a mark so I knew he was there. I just told her Oh he was there believe me he was.

I woke up to my two cats screaming and they flew off my bed and ran into living room, I turned around towards my husband smelling a really bad stinch in the air that smelled like burnng skin, I realized there was this half burnt creature that appeared to be burned and was half human and snake hubbering over my husband in his sleep! I screamed staring right at it and it looked like it was shocked I could see it, then it crawled off the bed! My husband woke up and I told him what I just seen and he told me I was just dreaming and to go back to bed, I said I was not dreaming and it was real, he said what us that smell I said it was the burnt demon that was hovering over you in your sleep and told him what the cats did, we both said a prayer and cast it out of our home! I will never forget it as long as I live!

Christopher,
A very similar occurrence happened to me at age 18, I'm 56 now. One night, after just falling asleep, a brilliant light came to me within my sleep and a voice said, 'You are to give your heart to Me.' I was also indescribably terrified.
It took me years to figure it out. You've been given an incredible gift. That was a calling to devote your life to Christ. Many are called but few are chosen. Open the New Testament and read!

Hi. I'm from Uk. This blessed me because this is the first time I havevever heard anyone say the same as what happened to me! Been born again many years now, but before I actually got saved, was going through a tough time, and I said, not with my mouth, from my heart, " Jesus if you're there, will you help me "...the same thing happened to me, but my experience was a warmth started at my toes, and travelled up through my body and out through the top of my head. It must have only been seconds, yet in that time I could feel every tiny minute sinew and fibre of my being touched with it. This is the first time I have ever heard anyone say the same thing of the direction in which it happened... That being through their toes and out through their head. I'm going to ask the Lord to show me why it happened this way. There must be some significance in it, why it didn't happen frommuy head down.? Thanks for posting this. God bless. Shalom.

Satan doesn't have black hair, but he is very smart & powerful. If your mom was a good hearted person in her lifetime & if she didn't make a pact with Satan (if she was a true Christian, I highly doubt she would make one), I doubt your mom is in hell. From what you explain about her I doubt Satan has her. I think a demon possibly gave you or manipulated that dream to scare you. Keep praying to God & loving the Lord.

Well the same thing happens I like get this sort of pressure I wake up but like my eyes are open but I'm still sleeping... I feel this big pressure after when I fully wake up it just goes away its weird to be honest plus on top of that I'm only a highschool freshman as in 9th grade.

"What is yet to be, has already been.
What has already been, has yet to be."
If you have excepted Christ as your savior, you will indeed make it.
But, it will be in his timing, not yours.
Have faith.
Love and listen to your higher self (inner soul).

Knock doubt of your left shoulder and kick fear in the teeth:)
If you feel darkness attempting to creep in...
Invision yourself saying "Have some of Christs blood."
As you pour a little out of a small teapot all over darkness...
Darkness will slither away:)
See you on the flip side (in the higher dementions)

This happened to me inside a club called complex in Oakland,ca. First, I've always been... I guess spiritually inclined. I've had visions come true hours later or even weeks or days, I've had multiple dreams that showed me what was going on in people's lives whom I share no relation with... My dreams started to decrease as I began dealing with sleep paralysis for a few years. Only one time was I able to open my eyes very very slightly and saw a dark figure walk out my bedroom door-i saw what looked like a man in a trench coat and a hat but thought it could just have been my boyfriend and I thought I saw that because of blurred vision-yet he swore he had not been in the room the whole time because he was playing video games... And he was a TRUE gamer so he wouldn't have lied about it. Another random thing that happened to me-once him and I went to a neighbors home who was a an old latina and she kept talking to us about ghost and asked to read my cards and I felt an urge to leave. We left, went back in our room and as I'm putting on a face mask that comes in a package... I proceeded to say "I look like a ghost" but before the word ghost fully left my mouth a heavy glass candle flew about five feet away from me and landed right in front of my feet. Freaked us both out we ran out the room. I've also had extremely good decernment about bad people... Not a lot but I'd say a good three times I knew a person was bad and one warned others who never believed me until the person would finally do something drastic enough to prove me right. When I was a kid I saw Drake on Degrassi, I looked at him and then randomly said aloud "he's going to be someone really big one day, he has a focus that is strong and will be great at music." I still to this day do not know why I said that. Even when I was a kid I would stare at my hands front and back and get this huge wave of emotions... Like it was surreal that I was alive. Felt like butterflies with shock and excitement. All of these little random things plus more that has happened to me sparked my interest in finding out why all this has happened... But just the other night things got even more weird. Ok so there's this artist called Lil Uzi vert and some say he worships the devil and I didn't even want to go to the club to see him but my friend did... When we got there I didn't get a bad vibe. But when he came to sit on stage... Mind you I was sober, no drinks no weed and I've never pill popped, never did coke or any other drug but weed but I wasn't high that night... Anyway the dj starts playing his music as him and his "friends" sat on the stage looking at us... They're smoking and just sitting there. After dancing a bit I start to look around at the crowd and when I scanned the whole club I thought I was tripping hard! I saw one of his people's face literally change into what I can only describe as an evil skull like face. I really thought "damn my eyes are messing with me!" so I blinked hard and kept staring, still the same... I looked away and looked back, still the same! So I looked at other people and everyone looked normal, then looked back at him... His face was normal. This happened in the club twice! One with the guy on the stage and another guy in the club near the same side of the stage the dude was on. I don't know what this meant... It freaked me out so much I didn't even want to tell my friend bc I knew she would think I'm crazy. What am I experiencing? I don't know what any of this means but these type of things are happening and I feel like it's going to increase and I want to know what the hell I'm dealing with... What am I supposed to do? How do I know if this is god like or evil? And why did all of a sudden I start to see evil faces in people? Why now? Hopefully someone can help me hear.

it means your a psychic. And that all the things that go bump in the night are drawn to you because of your gifts. Had same thing pop up over and over in my head THE CHOSEN ONES. Found out all about my paranormal life. Alien abductions that cured my cancer. Angels and demons that telepathically talk to me. Secret psychic government agents trying to recruit me. You name the creep shiat its happened to me. The life of an indigo child it sucks

Just sharing an experience that took place in 2003
A Spiritual Awakening I was reading the Bible on a constant basis seeking wisdom knowledge after my father passed away I begin to deal with attacks physically from demonic forces holding me down with my eyes clearly open my spirit was open each time something with come in my room and my presents my spirit would automatically Focus to where it was I knew some type of presents was in my room spirits actually came into my television as a shadow spirits came to me in video above my head and spoke out and knew my name and said to me we are not afraid of you I saw Spirits 3 came in blue fluorescent lights as well I heard audio voice come through my ear to give me three numbers which I today still remember and pray about for understanding of the meaning of 81120 it would not let me rest until I wrote it down I have had several out of body experiences I have been taken on Journeys out of my body I could actually see my body still laying on the bed there were times that as I was being taught through the angels how to be able to use my mind to turn lights off to be able to do things through my mind I was taught how to fight and defeat the Demonic forces that were coming against me during the spiritual awakening I am gifted to hear directly from the spiritual rim of yahshua I could sit next to someone and I will begin to hear things about that person of what they've gone through what is great that is coming for them and if there are any warnings for them I am now much stronger and more educated would knowledge and wisdom in the gifts of the Spirit which have been given to me all 9 of them and I continue to seek more knowledge sometimes uncontrollably trying to put pieces of the puzzle together I do want to encourage many not to be afraid if these things take place in your life you are not crazy but to seek yahshua and His Holy Spirit for help and guidance in the car that is on your life and most important be obedient thank you and please allow the blessings of the Lord be upon each and everyone of you God bless you prophetess Karen Dillingham

As I was growing up my life start to change dramatically. I started getting into accidents and also facing a lot of challenges. And then after some spiritual experiences I start to see things around me differently. I start to know there is another worldly realm out there. That's when my heart start to feel sorrow, not for me but for others who live their lives and are completely unaware of the things out there. Its like I look at people and wish I could warn them. But those of us that see it cannot change what it is and also what will become. After my spiritual experience I started having this feeling of not afraid of death. My fear of everything is gone but the only thing that scares me the worse is the not being able to know what will happen to me after death. A spirit told me " I am one of the chosen ones".I was born on OCT/30/. But I don't see the chosen 7 anywhere in the bible.Why?

It was my first flying experience I had some strange feeling where I could see things without opening my eyes, but that day I has full body vibration like my blood is being boiled and vibrating boom I near to hit the ceiling! I flying had no control over that like levitating in the air.

I posted a video that criticized the government on facebook and someone actually tried to hurt me, I was in the car with my parents when a car voluntarly tried to crash into us.
But at the moment he swerved trying to hit us I saw a strange light and the car violently getting on track again, I actually assisted on a gravity defying force, not sure if it was god or archangel michael. After the incident was over I saw a strange golden bird who stopped mid air to show me his beautiful golden wings. Thank you god or whoever it was that saved me from death or very serious injuries that day...

When you are an empath we open ourselves up to people to listen and try to help. In doing this we actually open portals into ourself. I use to experience similar every night all during the night spirits coming and going not so much now. I had 40 attachments to me and I told them to leave I worked on it w weeks every moment I had ordering them to leave. I finally contacted a paranormal group that astral travels who were able to remove them and clear and shield my home. It's a constant battle don't give up. Forest Moon Paranormal on facebook. Eric Cooper runs it. They are very good and will also work with you to teach you shielding etc.

Angela, the demons are lying to you when they say you're going to Hell. They have no power over that. They're trying to drive you to lose your faith in God. Jesus hasn't abandoned you. There's something He needs you to learn through this experience before He utters the command and you are freed forever. Don't blame yourself. Try praying to the Blessed Mother for deliverance, and casting them out in the name of Jesus. ("Father Yahweh, in the name of Jesus Christ I bind and break and cast out all spirits and things not of the Holy spirit, and command them all in the name of Jesus Christ to return to Hell. Amen.") You will be freed soon.

To Carrotred I used to feel the same as you. I felt as if I have sinned so much God couldn't possibility's love or want me. I was so filled with anxiety, depression, fear, heartache, and undeserving. All are lies by the devil. The warfare is to be after your soul and the battleground is your mind! I went to therapy and got connected to a life Coach. People have prayed for and over me and now I am at a place of strength and healing so much so that I am helping others. The devil wants you to believe you are unworthy bc you are an asset to the kingdom of Heaven. God put His hands on you bc you are chosen! You have to get out of your own way, surrender, and let God take over. That doesn't mean that you are meant to live a life of perfection... No one is. First we need to be saved and believe we have salvation. Salvation is free. Then we have to be renewed by the transforming of our minds... That means unlearn bad habits and learn new habits... You didn't get this way overnight and will not change overnight. Then and what Jesus actually preached first before talking about tongues I'd be delivered. We have to be delivered and then walk out our deliverance daily with repentance and submission. It is a daily walk and it will not be easy but so worth it. I rather be used by God that an agent of the enemy. Don't let the enemy use you to kill yourself and the purpose God has for your life. You are precious and worth it to the Lord.

As a deist for the past 50+ years, I have had short patience with traditional religions... (not to mention the historical/recent atrocities that have been committed in the name of 'religion')... That said, something very curious occurred at the moment of my mother's death 4 years ago... In the few seconds preceding her death while I watched beside her bed her barely breathing, something momentarily distracted my attention: a tiny, circular "white light" the diameter of a pencil eraser appeared a few feet on the wall above her bed. That extremely bright point of light silently expanded to the size of, perhaps, a 50¢ piece and then immediately shrunk and completely faded. All of this took, perhaps 5 seconds. When I looked down again at my mother, she had died. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I value highly the scientific method - and I have to observe something via my senses to KNOW it. I KNOW what I "observed". I've no idea what the "observation" represents. Theists and those of assorted traditional religions would, no doubt, have their "belief" as to that which I observed represents, e.g., the "soul" passing through a "portal" to "wherever"... I honestly don't know about such hypotheses... But I do KNOW what I explicitly OBSERVED. Were I to be 'lovingly-caring/etc.' I would like to hypothesize (NOT theorize) that because my mother knew me very well (and my disdain for 'revelations' outside of the scientific method) she gave me one final 'gift' before she died... A 'gift' to challenge my worldview. To this day I hope to find another person who has also observed the same, simple, profound phenomenon at the time of the passing of a loved one.

Something extremely similar to EVERYTHING you said happened to me in 2013... After reading your post... Honestly I don't even have words right now. I just keep taking deep breathes and I feel a little weird like WOW. The hearing something for the first few days to realizing where it was coming from to the quiet conversation (at first) to the group sex to realizing its evil and not at all a good thing the just seeing a head at first... WOW

Morning...i have a weird feeling some mornings... I feel the presence of something... Starts with a smell then a feeling... Always good... Feels like an entity takes over for a moment... I welcome it and now enjoy when it happens... Strange but always comforting... A nice feeling getting used to it... Very interesting...

I don't even dream anymore, I am Very sad, Last time... It was my father... He would have done anything to touch me... Just my hand... They told him no you can't do that! I lost my brother to suicide... We were close... No visit! Crushed... I have always been, hoping someone else... Saw this too. I don't go to church... I can tell certain things before they happen... I see them very clearly...deaths,good things etc...it's all energy and can't be controlled... It just comes and goes... I tell people because, I think I'm supposed to. +++I have been honest to what I witnessed, it was shocking to me... I tell my daughter because I want her to know I understand IF SHE HAS IT... SO FAR NO! Good.

The second time this happened to me or if it happens to you again "day-3"...try to look where they are looking. Michael is always on the right and he is big and mean as hell. His hair is jet black and his sword sleeve is very short, he has either scars or tattoo's above his right wrist. They will only converse with your dearly departed... They warn them not to try make "physical"contact with you and they must stay back between them...he's on the right but looks left... His right hand on his sword at all times... He is very quite and is freaking on guard... No wings or good will...he's being hunted... Not really him but the soul he's trying to guide in and protect... Transition is dangerous, they could never get there alone...

Angels are not what you think... They are very, very mean. Wait three days after someone you knows dies, it's at this time the soul moves and is sometimes allowed to visit via a dream,,, the soul will you know will not be alone, it will be guarded by two dark angels... Maybe then you will see the seriousness... They are not winning, they are under serious attack...

I'm so glad I found this thread! The same thing happened to me and my older brother when we were kids on holiday in Ireland. I was about 13, I was in bed in the room I shared with my brother and the window to my left (the blind was shut) started getting brighter and brighter - slowly the room filled with light, until even the shadows were filled with light and I could only see bright white light, and then it gradually faded away. I couldn't tell you how long it took - maybe over 5 minutes but it could have been longer. There was no sound and I wasn't scared at all, just interested and confused. My brother slept through it that night, but the night before it had happened to my brother and I had slept through it. The next night my Dad came and slept in the room with me and we left the blinds open but nothing happened.
I have never been able to explain it. I am a Christian now - wasn't at the time - and I hope it was God or an angel or something visiting us, or maybe we could It passing by

I'm sorry for spamming but I can't seem to help myself. Hopefully this is the last one.

I think that Jesus sacrificed himself not only willingly but also wantingly because, to be blunt, it was his preferred option. I think ultimately, to him, it was his only option because he knew himself and knew what he wanted.

I'm so sick of Christians not realizing that Christianity isn't really about the Bible or being good to each other casually or saying prayers (IMO). It's only really about becoming more like Jesus. Jesus was and is the ultimate anti-evil and to fight evil, I believe, we must become more like Jesus.

When someone has much pride, selfishness, selflessness (unbalanced!), self delusion, jealously, pettiness, self-loathing etc they will be defeated by true evil when confronted (by the anti-Christ).

To became like Jesus, I believe, is a terrible thing to have to go through because I think it involves much suffering.

I think that's what happened to me i.e I wanted to be like Jesus but I failed because of my so many not so great character traits. I didn't even know at the time that I wanted to be like Jesus (before everything hit the fan). I just wanted to be good and brave and honorable etc. Now I've realized what it really means to be as Jesus. It's a powerful person who makes the choice to walk into hell willingly because it's what they want... Because they are good and brave and they are honorable etc. It's not a game, it's awful but that's what it is to be a real Christian. Imo

I've never been into anything dark like practicing the occult or using those board things btw.

Once I had a dream where I thought I was out of my physical body (like a ghost). I was underground in the dream in some underground caverns. A ghostly woman was holding my hand and I thought she'd bought me there. An entity, a male, was down there. He had an energy field of absolute terror. The feeling of terror completely overwhelmed me and his energy seemed to pierce my brain and take control of my mind. I then saw, what appeared to be, some of my future. I saw myself with a future friend that I make one day and I think he's a practicing Buddhist monk. He was freaking out in the vision and researching ancient texts desperately. I also saw myself, one day, as a ghost, down there with the him (the guy showing me my future). I was under his control and I said to him "look what I've made for you!" and it was a dark tower on earth and there were screams and suffering coming from its base. I knew at the time that bad and terrible things had happened to create the tower.

It's sad to me because when I left the town I was in, my chakra aka the location of my feelings and my inner guiding light felt covered up my something ghostly. I couldn't feel my feelings of sweetness and compassion nearly as strongly. When I left that town I thought that my room eminated sadness.

It wasn't long, at home, with my parents that I started seeing "666" popup. I'd lost all of my motivation in life. "666" kept popping up while I was on my computer. My parents home was so think with a paranormal atmosphere (I'm the only person that noticed). Weird static electricity discharge sounds on the walls and ceiling began. Alarms were beeping as I walked past. This one dark looking shadowy character (a man that seemed to hate me) was entering my body now and again and I couldn't believe how cold he was making me feel, almost like ice. Then things go really bad and I was sectioned in a mental institution by my parents and I was told by doctors that I'm schizophrenic.

I'm insane (schizophrenic) and I think that I can see shadowy looking figures and sometimes grey, semi-transparent people in great detail. With the darker shadowy figures I can't make out their physical details well at all. With the lighter, brighter ones it's way easier for me to see their physical features.

Sometimes it can get sexual i.e. Sexual feelings of organismic like pleasure in traditionally non-sexual areas of my body.

I see one sitting on my bed right now and a lighter one behind me, again on my bed.

I don't know why they are here and I'm not unafraid of them because they can control me sometimes and they tell me bad things and sometimes they make me want to do bad things; Humiliating things to myself and evil things to others and as my resistance and willpower decrease gradually over time I feel less tormented mentally but I'm sad inside. I feel so sad inside like I'm secretly crying. Lord have mercy on my soul. I do want to love Jesus but it's hard because he died or other's sins and it's not fair on HIM (IMO). I don't know if I can be like Jesus. Inside I do want to be but not so much in my mind. To be a true hero, like Jesus, it is as beautiful as it is dreadful to me and talk and belief is one thing but I think that truly walking the walk is very, very hard. That's what I think and people who love those that are willingly to sacrifice themselves, like Jesus, but not make the same sacrifice ARE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS. BEING A TRUE CHRISTIAN IS NOT A JOKE, IT ISN'T ALL LOVE AND POLITENESS. It's a fukcing warrior religion. In a fukcing war. That's my opinion anyway...

It seems to me that you are too tense when you meditate and probably too much in the head area.
You could try to change focus, maybe on the belly area, which is quite away from the head.
And maybe just relax, take it easy, as the Buddha said, not too tense, not to relaxed like a guitar string!

If meditation makes you feel depressed, I advice you to learn from a meditation teacher

This happened to me last night. I swear I'm not crazy and I know what I heard. It lasted from 12:30-12:50 then happened again after 1:30. They weren't speaking English but it sounded so beautiful. I opened the door to my bedroom to see if maybe it was hotel music by it wasn't. It's like it was in my head. I turned the TV down and it was clearly angels. Is that a sign of something? It's unlike anything I've ever heard before.

This was my original post back in December 2017. I just put 2 and 2 together, but after hearing angelic voices that night in my hotel room, I drove home the next night for the weekend. My wife and I conceived our first child, a little daughter the next night! She's due Sept 14th. Maybe this is just a coincidence, or a blessing, I'm not entirely sure. But its the only time I have ever heard those beautiful voices, my little girl (Grace Carroll) was conceived within 24 hours.

This has happened to me and with only one person. A man I felt and still feel deep soul attraction for and it was like that from day one even just from first written words.

When intimately kissing him and looking at him his face morphed into at least five different male faces
It was almost like an out of body experience making love with him

Even now to this day after much distance I can look at his picture and his face in photo changes into five or six different men like different versions of him
This is while staring at the photo

It's crazy and when I told him he didn't seem shocked
Which I did think alittle weird

Another thing the first day we actually met as I was looking into his eyes which I thought were beautiful almost like he was perfect in every way for me his eyes turned a much lighter silver blue then went back to normal

My reasoning of this is like some of the other guests
I have lived other lifetimes with this man
All in different versions
That he is my true mate
And when his eyes glowed that day
I was looking into his soul
He is over twenty years younger than Me

Never had an experience like this before
It's changed me forever really

I have also had telepathic er chats with him even to the point of him being sarcastic and making me laugh
That went in for a very long time but it has ebbed off a lot
I can only hear him once in a while

Am in my late fifties
It's almost as if he massaged my heart
Awakened my love chakra to help me in my life

I believe that last night I saw some kind of angel, dressed in white, kneeling or sitting in lotus at the back of my local Cathedral, you know the place near the font, where they have never had a service for decades. He looked just like Dmitri Xvorostovsky, he was surrounded by altar servers and deacons etc. He was being sung to in Latin or another language that we could all understand word for word. There were no organs, just voices. He was looking at the door, which was closed. There was incense. He responded looking at the door'Amen' first on a monotone of 'C', then a small decoration, going down to 'G' 'men'. While singing he looked over to me and the two men I was with and the warm breath of God started to hit me like a wind when you step off an aeroplane, around 30 mph, it was fragrant like balsam and warm. My feet were starting to leave the ground, I was rising, really enjoying this note. I was 3-4 feet off the ground, when he stopped the 'men'and I softly came down. He smiled slightly then straight faced looked back at the door and I awoke. The man next to me had talents like me as did the one after him, we were three. I thought was that Jesus, then I thought was it demonic? I conclude and record for others that I sincerely believe it was an angel reminding me that God is really there and I am going to Him, so I better be prepared. Just before this I dreamt I was knee high in sludge and a JCB had nearly run me over. Amen everyone.

I live in Dominican Republic, my first language is Spanish, sorry for my English in advance xD.
My mom had always teach me about God and Jesus but nothing really special had happened to me, I just knew there was God.
An afternoon an aunt went to visit my house, she was a new Christian baptized and all, she was very happy telling me and my 14 year old sister, about how good is God and how he can save us and the world etc, The Night came nothing special happened, went to bed and until that time id had never pray with so much intensity, the main thing is that I was making a really curious and questioning prayer.
I was stomach down, head to the right side of the pillow, and I started praying:
Why so many people need to suffer? Why kids die in wars? Why you let wars happened? Why there is hunger in africa? Why is there bad people? Why are you a God of love but let all this things happen? Why? Etc. You get the picture, then I think I said thank you God anyways, for loving me and my family or so. And that I will still believe in him or so. I can't remember the complete prayer, I wished I had writed down this experience before...
I stopped the praying and was with closed eyes like for 2 or 3 minutes after praying, just thinking about what I just prayed and what my aunt said earlier to me just waiting to fall asleep. But I did not, I was still stomach down and from the windows behind me, a huge white shining light and it sound, like a "flick of a second " made me open up my eyes. There was no sound of anything (ceiling fan, dogs outside etc) just the light shining.
My heart started racing and got mad scared, I tried to turn my head to see but it was like the weight of the earth was upon my entire body, just from the corner of my eyes could see a little of the light shining from my window, then I heard the sound of a dove's wings flying, like when you hear a dove landing next to you, coming like from the middle of the light towards me, it sounded kind of loud, and then I felt like the dove landed on my feet's and melt on them and a warm feeling covered my body.
Then the light shut off like in a flick of a second again. I jump scared of bed turn on the light and went crying to my mom's room to tell what happened, she thought I was dreaming but sort of told me God can do that too, BUT I WAS NOT SLEEPING.
She prayed for me, then I went back to my room to sleep, and ask my sister that was there the whole time if she felt anything, but she did not, it was like that moment was just for me. I was really scared and covered my entire body with the sheets. I crave another visit like that now I think I will not scare but excited scare!
Nothing has happened since then, but now every time I want to confirm my faith in God, that is stronger than before, I think about this memory, and I feel awesome I love GOD!
I did not had any change after that until now, I think it was meant to be for me at this age, now I'm 30, suffered many problems with family, depression and a lack of faith maturing up, I even stopped believing in God for a while and I feel so stupid now thinking about it, like, God showed me that one night, how could I not hang on it? Now I do to keep my faith up, I go to a Christian church too.
I feel in my little human intelligence that he wanted to let me know that the world needs to be like this this in order to filter the ones who really love him and wants to go back to him again, then one that obey and believe no matter what, because I was questioning all of this but he rewarded me with this experience.

When I was 20 I accepted Jesus as my savior. Being un-churched until that time it was still very new to me and I had many questions. While I believe I was saved the moment I accepted that Jesus died for my sins, I still desired a "personal God experience" and every night when going to bed I would pray something to the effect of "God I know that you love me and saved me and I don't need you to prove yourself to me, but I desire to hear from you". I am not sure how many weeks I prayed that prayer, but one night it happened. I was dead asleep and I heard a very loud voice that simply said, "I have come", before I could question if it was my inner voice or God's I felt something pass through me. It started at my head and the best way I can describe it is it felt like a warm liquid thick kind of like honey. But instead of it running over me like if a liquid was poured on your head, it went right through me and as it did I saw a very bright light and immediately woke up. That event was 30 years ago and I do not doubt for a minute it was God. Unfortunately I have never had the experience again. I am recently going through a job loss and was randomly searching the net tonight looking for some God inspired stories when I stumbled on this site and it made me think of my own personal experience. For anyone who may read this, I pray for you to be a born again believer and know that Jesus died for you. Maybe HE let me have this experience because HE knew I would tell others and it would lead them to salvation. Thank you for letting me tell my story.

I do it a lot but only when I lay down to go to sleep. I feel it happening and I see myself laying in bed and I can not move and I can get myself to wake up. It scard me really bad. And I keep trying to get myself to wake up. And when I do finally get awake. I get up. If I just lay There it will happen to me again. I don't like to do it I don't have any control over it. It just happen.

I posted my story many months back. Some of you may find this passage very interesting: JOB 4:12-16: "For a word was stealthily brought to me, and my ear caught a whisper of it. In my thoughts during visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon us, fear came to me, and shuddering that terrified me to the bones. Then a spirit passed before me, and the hair of my flesh stood up. It paused, but its likeness I could not discern; a figure that was before my eyes, and I heard a still voice that said..."

Yesterday I was lying on my bed. I was not well. I felt my soul been pulled from my body. Like a vacuum cleaner. It just lasted for 30 second & after that I just felt relaxed. I remember that my eyes were open & I can see & sense everything happening to me. I don't know what it was. I wanted to know why it is happening to me.

If any one has information about it please do contact me [at] Vivek_rastogi2000 [at] yahoo.com

I wants to go home too! My heart says to your heart, if you have not done so already, engage in spiritual practice and strive for complete immersion in that practice. This is the one thing that every spiritual tradition has in common -- encouraging people to fully immerse themselves in the All which includes loving service to others.

Can you confirm for me that you actually heard a voice? If so, from outside or inside your head? Was it loud and pronounced or quick like a flash? BTW, I am a firm believer in putting God first and loved that in your story!

I love your experience and am relating to letting God shine through me. I do feel that there is a great power that can work through us. I have two questions: 1) Did you actually see the light or sense the light. 2. I'd say that I am closer to being a Christian mystic than anything. But how can a God of so much love and understanding punish people for eternity for being human? I am glad that you come from a science background. What percentage of people brought up Jewish convert to Christianity?

So, I believe that the essentials of the New Testament are dead on, but I am yet to be convinced that it is infallible. Yet Jesus does live and helps all who call on Him and God is Love.

Your experience is yet another testimony that there is a greater experience that I and many call an experience of God. I have dedicated much of my life to seeking the Divine through meditation, prayer and service. I have gotten to the door many times, but never through the door as you have. That is not what matters. But it does matter that I can share the essence of your story on my website to give others hope and inspiration to seek deeper and further.

me and my family has heard angels singing at the same times many times through out the years, some times we hear it sounds like a radio with a bunch of people talking real fast, but hard to under them. And we do have ghost living with us. And the ghost tease us, and we at times can see them moving around, and sitting on my bed lol all true facts, IN THE NAME OF JUESUS CHRIST, AMEN.

First let me say I am a very down to Earth person I have always struggled with my faith. I don't believe In ghosts or spirits but I have to share my story. I'm 28 years old and I was on a very dark path addicted to heroin at the time of this event. I have been sober drug and alcohol free for almost 3 years now. But back in my active addiction at the time of this I wasn't high I remember being very desperate at the time... I was laying in my bed and it was about 3am. I keep trying to convince myself I was asleep and it was a dream. I also have never told anyone about this. An extremely bright light so bright I couldn't look directly at it was in the doorway and lit up my entire room but it was also dark and scary at the same time like it was a dark figure standing in the light. The figure talked to me through my mind and said Dont be scared and to change my ways... Those weren't words I heard but more like words that I felt. I hid under my covers scared to death hoping I was dreaming. The next few days I consistently tried to convince myself it was a very vivid dream. To this day I can't forget it... Deep inside I feel as though I know it wasn't a dream. I wish I could give more details but I don't have any. I just know I have never been that scared in my entire life. I'd like to say that I got clean right after that but I didn't...it took a few more months of hell but I eventually gave it up and got help. I haven't looked back. I will never forget that night as long as I live. I do remember asking God to help me before that event took place maybe it was an angel... If so they were very very scary but they did let me know they weren't there to hurt me or scare me. If you have a story similar to this just know you are not alone like I said I don't usually but these stories from anyone but I can't deny my own. It was very real

Hi. Something happened to me last night and wanted to know if anyone knew what it was. Maybe it was nothing?
The day after my aunts funeral I woke up at 3am (she died on the 3rd of the 3rd month) very clear and wide awake. For some unknown reason I got up and looked out my bedroom window which was open. I saw a shimmer, irradecent, gold light/sparkle "thing". It was shimmering beautiful and calmly. I thought it was a fox with glowing eyes in the dark. I think thought it was a fox that had been run over and light was reflecting on it. I looked at it calmly for ages. I woke my husband up and he too saw it but he saw a white shimmer not gold. We went down stairs, and couldn't see it. Went to the another room upstairs and couldn't see it. Went back to the bedroom and it was still there. We couldn't see it through windows or anywhere else but the open bedroom window. I felt so calm and at pease and went back to bed. I should also mention that a random flash of light, like a huge camera flash (we have cameras outside that take photos of they detect anything but it wasn't our camera) or lighting. After the lightening I heard one thunder sound. The shimmer was still there though. My husband didn't see the flash or bar the thunder, only I did. My husband does not believe in airports
Is this a spirit or angel or maybe just a reflection?

For the first time in a a sunshine day and in live city pool... Suddenly I see this young father with a 2 years daughter in the pool. His face was with a white mask. I did see it two or three times why he was afar from me about 400 ft.
I was kind of puzzle why he had put that white cream on his face. Then, his face back to normal for a minute or so and back to be with the same white cream. He is white male.
I do not understand thed message. Do you?

I had a near death experience and while in the hospital was visited by a dark and light angel. They werent warm/fuzzy like people talk about. They also didn't really have wings but more like flowing gowns. They were kind of professional andseemed to be deciding my fate in that moment. Although they didn't say the words, I sensed the white angel wanted me to come with it but after they mulled it over briefly, they telepathically told me I had things to do on earth. I got the sense it had to do with taking care of people. 12 years later, I have cared for my son who has severe asthma and was sick with other problems the first 5 years of his life. My father who has parkinsons and my mom who has alzheimers. I also sort of cared for a man who was me tally ill/alcoholic for 5 years and thankfully survived. Sometimes I'm scared that once my parents pass and my son is well, they will return for me.

Hello, I recently had an experience at a retreat and so I was searching if anyone else had such experiences and stumbled on this page. I was going through a time, where I felt that I had worked so hard and given so much, but nothing turned out the way I envisaged.
I am 50 years old. I accepted the Lord at 20, but never gave Him my all. But since the last couple of years, I had been seeking Him in His word, in prayer and I was at the point that I wanted Him to have my life. Take it I kept telling Him for what its worth and do what You want with it. So I went forward for prayer at the retreat and the pastor was praying for me. He mentioned many thoughts I had been having in the past few months and then he held my upraised hand and I felt an intense heat in the area if my heart. Everywhere else my body felt the same. But in my chest area I felt so much heat that I wanted to take some one else's hand and make them feel it. I am still wondering and think about the disciples on the road to Emmaus, how they said "Were not our hearts burning when He spoke to us". I do not know what my experience means, but I have been praying to Lord to give me revelation. I want to walk in His mysteries. I do not want to hear from the world and follow anymore. I want to follow Him.
